Does anyone of you nice people know a very good, worth-reading, comprehensive, updated java2d online tutorial?
The one from sun is a bit low on contents and examples,
I’ve been searching google but ended up with too short, messy tutorials.
Thanks. 
I don’t know of any tutorials other than the Sun ones… B ut if you ask some more specific questions maybe we can build a tutorial as a result of answering them.
Hmm maybe you should try to understand some existing code ( with the help of the sun website ).
This worked for me.
Then try to alter the existing code and expiriment with some functions.
And finally create your own project.
But do not epect to get all this working in one weeking, its a long process, maybe you need months or years.
I work with java now 5 years and every day brings new surprises, prepare to face the unknown. Never surrender and always keep a smile on your face, even when things look worse, DONT GIVE UP there is always a solution.
Sometimes it may help to go out and have some fun drink some beer and do something different, it frees up your mind and when u come back to your office u will find a solution.
I’m completely new to the subject, so I think I’ll stick to Sun’s tutorial and work through some code and then come back with more specific questions.
Thanks Swpalmer and MGodehardt for your advice.
(…I wont give up … and for the sake of sharing here is a link to a very well made tutorial I found on basic vector math for computer graphics which may come in handy when working with 3d graphics: http://chortle.ccsu.edu/VectorLessons/vectorIndex.html).
